• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Man.

  Speaker 2: All right, a second session which would be a final session,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a possible back in the evening with next weeker. Also,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I need to introduce our friend from Ka Nairobi, care
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Bishop Killer from naropakare message to your faith. His flight
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: was delayed so he landed her for so we thank
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: you for your sacrifice that I hear right this morning.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Amen, all right, our next bigure Apostle Joshua Sellman. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: don't want to replate to what I said.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, but after his administration, you understand what I say,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: all right. He's bringing a perspective to the message in
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: this country that is very unique and you can't. God
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: puts people in certain locations so that they can interpret that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You know, it's called the manifold wisdom of God. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the wisdom of God has many sides to it, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: so he's bringing aside and dimension of God's with the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: wisdom to this generation. That is very bold. That message
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: he prettiest there was a bold message, right. He crossed boundaries.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You know, when you get to a point you look
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: at it and say, let's not say he broke the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: boundaries there, and he broke it in accuracy in the spirit,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and you should listen to that message over and over all. Right,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you should listen to that message of Hanover because that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: message in itself has real healing in it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Aha. It explains a lot of things. What he said
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in passing is very true.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: COVID made some people stop coming to church who've always
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: wanted to stop coming, and so when there was COVID,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: they just took it as an exit. It's because they
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: got to a point in their work with God that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: some things are not being explained to them that they
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: were experiencing. And he went into that dimension there all
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: right and and said it. And the reason why he
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: can speak like that is because of his background from
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: where he's coming from.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I won't say more than that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Let's writ save it and welcome Apostle Joshua Selvi.

• 4:30
  Speaker 1: morning and challenge our hearts in the name of Jesus.

  Speaker 4: Oh, rest on me, Oh, rest on me, Oh, rest
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: on me, power to prospers me.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Following the name of Jesus, we pray that us be
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the kings, would not just be in the wisdom of men,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: but in the power of God. I pray that you
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: grant us understanding and cause us to pray and prevail
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, we pray, Amen and Amen. I felt
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: stirred in my heart while preparing for this session that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: will be doing a lot of praying within the time
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that we have. I just sensed my spirit that God
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: truly wants to release something tonight, Alleluiah. And I believe
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that God is building momentum through all the teachings the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: morning as we just prepare for a very serious release tonight. Allelujah,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: please be seated. Would pray once and again within the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: course of the time that I have, and I hope
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that you do not mind. In the name of Jesus Christ, Alleluiah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Challengels in the area of prayer this morning. Mark Chapter
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: eleven twenty three and twenty four. Jesus was teaching. He
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: used the event cursing the victory, and then he began
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to establish the matters of faith. Twenty three says verily,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that whatsoever that whosoever shall say
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: into the sea. And shalt not doubt in his heart,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: but believe that those things which he saith shall come
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to pass. The Bible says he shall have whatsoever he saith.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: The next verse twenty four, therefore, I say unto you,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: what things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that ye receive them, and thou shall have them. So
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we see a straight line connecting desires, prayers, believing, receiving,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and having. It is the complete faith equation that Jesus gives.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: There desires, prayer, believing while you pray, receiving while you pray,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: then having as a manifestation, and so you cannot take
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: prayer out of the faith equation. It is a vital
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: component in the faith equation. Jesus himself is teaching, and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he says that the only way desires can become your having,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: your manifestation is that some way in the faith equation,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: prayer has a role to play. Are well together, very
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: very powerful James Chapter five, will read thirteen, then would
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: jump to sixteen. He says, is any man among you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: are lickted? The word afflicted there does not just mean
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: plagued with infirmity alone experiencing any kind of constraint that
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: impedes you working in victory. He says, let him such
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: an individual. The moment you come into an awareness that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: there is any kind of constraint that can spy upon
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: your liberty in Christ, the apostle recommends that your first
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: part of call is to pray Allelujah, but not any
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: kind of prayer. There is a recommended prayer that deals
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: with this situation. Verse sixteen. He now says the effectual
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Please give it to us, It says, confess your fault
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to one another and pray for one another that you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: may be healed. Then he says, the effectual, favent prayer
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of a righteous man. As they let much, the effectual
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: furtherent prayer of a righteous man. The Bible says, have
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: they let much? And I just want to charge our
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: hearts along this line. So prayer is a major component
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in manifesting Bible faith. It is very important that we
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: establish this prayer is a major component in manifesting Bible faith.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: That anyone, any believer in Christ, whom weill and must
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: manifest Bible faith. It is important for you to know
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that prayer is part of the faith equation that brings
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: manifestation to the things that we desire. Are we together
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: very quickly just for our understanding. According to scripture, prayer
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: has four major assignments in the life of a believer,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and if you allow me just run through them. I'm
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: not teaching on them, but just for understanding so that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: we understand the things that I say afterwards. There are
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: four or biblical assignments of prayer. It's important that you
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: know to what end the believer is mandated to pray.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Most people pray, but they really do not know the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: assignment of prayer. It's an uncomfortable truth. But prayer is
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: not the key to everything, but prayer must be involved
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: in everything. The assumption that prayer is the key to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: everything simply because of the role it carries, it's not accurate.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: We are emotionally connected to prayer and Africa for a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: very good reason. But it's important to know that as
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: potent as prayer is, it is one of the keys
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: of the kingdom. But the unique nature of the prayer
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: ministry is that when it is not the key, it
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: becomes the hand that holds the key. So it is
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: involved in every aspect of our lives. Away together, the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Bible says, be anxious for nothing. Then it says in
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: every so there is no matter in a man's life
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that prayer becomes unnecessary. However, there are keys. It connects
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to other components in the kingdom to produce victory. If
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we're together, say amen, right, So fur assignments of prayer
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: very quickly. Number one. The first assignment of prayer, which
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: is a most superior assignment of prayer, is for your
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: growth and transformation. Most believers do not understand this aspect
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of prayer. It is the reason why our prayer lives
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: are stunted in many ways because the most superior assignment
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of prayer, it's not just for needs and petitions. It's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a system that was designed for our growth and our transformation.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Look nine twenty nine. The Bible says, as he prayed,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the fashion of his countenance was altered and his raiment
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: became white and glistering. When we pray, we evolve. When
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we pray, we become. When we pray, there is a
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: transition that happens worst in the spirit that a week
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you can become a strong you. Are we together if
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: herefo you can become a bold you. There is an
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: exchange that happens in the place of prayer, and most
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: people have not understood this dimension of prayer. Number two.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: The second assignment of prayer, according to scripture is to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: make requests and obtain promises. We considered a bit of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that in passing yesterday. Prayer is a platform to make
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: requests and to obtain promises. Allelujah. The Bible says in Philippians,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: chapter four and verse six. We read that I just
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: quoted that not too long. It says, be anxious for nothing,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: but in everything by prayer, that platform of prayer and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: supplication with thanksgiving. It says, let your requests be made known.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Assume they are made known. Let your request be made known. Allelujah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Number three. The third assignment of prayer, according to scripture,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: is for decrease and establishing spiritual realities. We use prayer
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: as the platform to make decrease, to create possibilities, to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: establish spiritual realities, and we still together Job chapter twenty
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: two and verse twenty eight. It says, and thou shalt decree,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: not assume, not wish. Thou shalt decree a thing, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the thing that you decree, not the thing that you
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: want or wish, shall be established onto thee. Thou shall
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: decree a thing, and it shall be established onto thee.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: The fourth assignment of prayer, according to scripture, is for
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: warfare and intercession. This is a dimension of prayer, warfare
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and intercession. This is very important. The Bible already told
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: us in John chapter ten and verse ten that Satan
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: is called the thief and that he comes with the singular.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Goal of stealing, killing, and destruction.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Apostle Peter charged us in First Bitter five and verse
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: eight to be sober and to be vigilant. He says,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: for your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, walked
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: about seeking whom he may DeVore. Allelujah. And then, of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: course Ezekiel chapter twenty two, I believe verse thirty. He says,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and I sought for a man I like that scripture
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: among them, that he should make up the hedge and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: stand in the gap before me for the land that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I should not destroy it. But I found none. So
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: prayer becomes a prophetic platform for warfare. What is warfare
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: engaging through the understanding of script and establishing the victory
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: that is in Christ. You see that now over the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: situations that attempt to fight and plague your authority in Christ.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: It's important that you understand this. But you see when
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it has to do with prayer. There are various kinds
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: of prayer that the Bible identifies. I'm not going into
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that this is a charge this morning so that we pray.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: The Bible tells us there is something called praying. Amiss am,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I right on that They are all kinds of prayer,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and the Bible is very clear as to the fact
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that not every kind of prayer produces power. There is
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a recommended kind of prayer and a pattern of prayer
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that produces power. Allelujah. Two conditions, according to James chapter
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: five and verse sixteen, that must be captured in the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: prayer of the righteous to produce power. I want to
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: please listen now. There are two important components, as revealed
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: in chapter sixteen of James five, that if and when
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: they are not captured in your prayer, your prayer cannot
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: produce power. Number one, the Bible says, the effectual pavant.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I like to reverse it for the sake of our understanding.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: So Number one, the Bible talks about phavncy, that the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: prayer of the believer that produces power, power to influence,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: power to manipulate, power to establish according to divine order,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: must be prayer that is pavant. What does it mean
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to be pavan? It means from the heart. It means
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: with zeal, with passion, and with truthfulness. Are we together
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: very important? Jeremiah twenty nine and verse thirteen. In the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: dealings of God with men, we learn from sc and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: even from experience, that God seems to respond to passion
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and sincerity and hunger. It seems to me like the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: spirit of God does not pay so much respect to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: laxity and carelessness. God wants to see intention and fire.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Even in error. He respects the passion and corrects you.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: There is nowhere God sees passion that he ignores. Thou
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: son of David, have messy on me. I don't know
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: whether what I'm doing is right or wrong, but I'm
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: not going to let you go if I may but
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: touch the hem of his garment. Every time God sees passion,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: he interpretses as the person being serious, even if in ignorance.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: So the Bible says, the pathant away together the pavant
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: from the heart Jeremiah twenty nine thirteen. He says, and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you shall seek me and find me, when ye shall
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: search for me with all all your heart. There is
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a level of seriousness and intention that must be invested
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: in the prayer of the righteous if it is to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: produce power. Second Chronicles, chapter fifteen. Who read verse twelve,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: then for time? Who jump to fifteen? It is God
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: helping us already, the Bible says, And there the nation
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of Judah they entered into a covenant. Watch this to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: heart and with all their soul. Notice now all of
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: them was plunged into that covenant verse sixteen, the Bible says,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had, Okay,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: thank you give us verse fifteen. Just stop at verse fifteen,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: did I give you? Yeah? Fifteen is fine? And all
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: all their heart, and the Bible says they sort him
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: with their whole desire. What was the result. He was
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: found of them, and the Lord gave them rest round
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: about the Bible says the pavant. You want the kind
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: of prayer that changes things, changes you, and through you
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: influences your world. It is prayer that comes with pavncy zeal, passion, seriousness.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: There were people in the Bible God did not take serious,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and the Bible was not quiet about it. It was
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: clear that God did not have respect for them because
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: there was no fervancy and no passion invested in their commitment,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: whether their relationship or their activity. The first of such expressions,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: as we see, was in the life of Cain and Abel.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: The nature of their investment in their sacrifices and the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: violation of patterns or the observants of patterns led one
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: sacrifice to be accepted and the other God did not
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: have respect for it. Allelujah, phavency zeal and passion. The
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Bible said this about Jesus himself, that the zeal of
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord's house had consumed him. Is that true? Yeah,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: this is the reason why he frowns at lukewarmness. In
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Revelations chapter two, he wrote to one of the churches,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I think to Ephisos, so they're about of Philadelphia, one
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of them, and he says, I wish that thou art
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: hot or at least cold. If you are hot, I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: commend you. If you are cold, I redeem you. But
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: now you are lookwarm you are you are in between.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Every time God saw people who swung to one side
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of the pendulum, if they needed deliverance, they admitted it
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and they were delivered. If they were vibrant and full
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of fire, he would command them. But he always frowned
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: at people who were nonchalaned, passive, careless even about spiritual things.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Someone say Pavant one more time, say Pavant that when
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: believers pray, it is important for them to have this
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: understanding that they are not praying to an idol, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: all of them must be invested in that prayer.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Number two.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: This is the part that I want us to look
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: closely to because in truthful submission, especially within the continent
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of Africa, I think we've done a good job in
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the area of fathency in prayer. The average African praise
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: with zeal with passion, or at least a semblance of it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Am I right on that. Now, the second word that
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: must be captured in our prayer to produce power is
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: called effectual effectual. Lend me your attention. This is my message.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: What does it mean to be effectual? Effectual means to
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: use or to engage in a way that avoids loss
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: or waste of time and energy. Listen carefully. Effectual by
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: definition means to use or to engage in a way
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: that avoids loss, l O, double s, or waste of
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: time and energy. So you are effectual to the degree
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to which you are efficient and there is minimal loss
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: of energy, of time and resources. Am I right on that?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: The Bible says the kind of prayer that produces power
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: in the spirit is prayer that is number one, favent
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: your heart, condition, your zeal, your passion. But number two,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: it says it must be effectual. Believers are observed here
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: they pray fervent, sincere, heart felt prayers, but very few
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: believers pray effectual prayers. Remember, we're going to pray. What
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: then makes prayers effectual? It's important for us to understand
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: at what point do you know that your prayer is effectual?
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Is it by the sound of your voice? Is it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: by the motions that follow the prayers well intentioned as
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: they are? Let me show you from scripture. Are you ready?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: What makes prayers effectual? Listen? Is the degree to which
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the will of God is captured in that prayer. You
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: have to understand this, what makes prayer effectual. It's not
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the sincerity of the one praying alone. The degree to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: which the will of God is captured in that prayer
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: operation is what makes prayer effectual. So the Bible says,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the effectual phavent prayer of the righteous. If it is
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: truly effectual, and if it is truly phathant, the Bible says,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: it produces power. Are we learning now? So what makes
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: prayer effectual? I repeat? Is the degree to which the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: will of God is captured in that prayer. The word
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: compliancy of your prayer is what makes it powerful, not
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: just the spirituality of the activity of prayer. The degree
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: to which you are praying the will of God is
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: where the guarantee for answer and power lies in. If
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: you're understanding me, say amen, now write this down, please,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: praying the will of God is beyond attaching scriptures to prayer.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Just listen carefully. You came to church praying. The will
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of God is beyond attaching scripture because you will be
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: learning that the Bible is a prophetic book. You can
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: make it speak anything you want to hear. So just
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: because a scripture was connected to what you was saying
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: does not mean When Satan wanted to bring Jesus down,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: he started by just talking casually. But when Jesus responded,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: it is written from then on every other thing he said,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: he connected it to scripture. Yet it was not the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: will of God. Is that in your Bible? So just
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: because you found a scripture for what you want does
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: not mean it's the will of God. Say amen, I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: promise that we're going to be praying. So we'll soon pray,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: maybe in the next five minute, will pray and then
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: will continue. Are we learning now, yes, sir. So when
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you pray consistent with the will of God, the Bible
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: leaves us with an assurance that your prayer becomes effectual, effectual, effectual.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: This is very powerful. I will talk a bit about this,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: but let's go to first John, chapter five and verse fourteen.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: May I request that we read in concert when we
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: have it projected ready one to read. And this is
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the confidence that we have in him that if we
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: ask anything according to his will, he heared us. One
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: more time, please, And this is the confidence that we
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: have in him, that if we ask anything according to
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: his will, he heared us verse fifteen. If you do
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: not mind, and if we know that he hears us
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: whatsoever we ask, we know that we have our petitions
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: that we desired of him, hallelujah. Efficient chapter five, when
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: we read fifteen to seventeen, Paul makes a profound statement
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that I did not understand for many years. He said,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: see that you walk sircumspectly. The word circumspect is accurately.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Are we together accurately? Not as fools, but as wise?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Where is the wisdom in that statement? He says, you
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: are wise when you redeem time, because the days are evil?
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Now? That means, according to Paul's understanding,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the most expensive commodity on earth is time. He says,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in all your living, do not waste time, and that
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you must master the art of redeeming time and the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: wisdom to redeem time according to this scripture. In verse seventeen,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: he says, wherefore, being not on wise, but understanding.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: What the will of God is.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: That means the moment you know the will of God,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you redeem time because the time that you move in
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: error and confusion and then you return back is minimized.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Designing the will of God is one of the ways
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: we gain time, because you walk accurately knowing that you
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: are at the hearts the epicenter of the will of God,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and the apostle calls that, wisdom, are we together?
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: This is very important.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: The entire kingdom system was built around the will of God.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: It is important that we understand this, believers, The entire
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: system of the kingdom was built around the will of God.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: When Jesus was teaching what we call the Lord's Prayer,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: he says, when you pray, you pray that your kingdom come.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And then it says Thy will be done in earth
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: as it is in heaven. So you would notice that
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the entire economy of heaven revolves around the will of God.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, is the assignment of the power of God
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to maintain the will of God in the life of
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the believer and across the cosmos. When the will of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: God is not in place, the power of God has
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: no assignment. The assignment of the power of God is
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to enforce and to maintain the will of God. The
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: reason why the sick are healed is not because the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: power of God can heal, is because sickness is inconsistent
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: with the will of God. So the power of God
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: finds an assignment there. What gives the power of God
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: assignment away together now is its ability to bring all
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: things to line.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Up with the will of God.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: If you understand the concept of the will of God,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: then you will have power in your prayer. Are we together?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Because you see, the first assignment of the believer in
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: approaching prayer is to understand the will of God concerning
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: what you are about to pray for, or to understand
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: how to find out the will of God. Making decreases
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: useless until you ascertain you and the will of God.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Are we together now?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Every time you are in ignorance as to the will
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: of God, your first assignment is to get to a
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: point of understanding.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: And I'm going to be showing you so you see.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: That most believers do all kinds of things around the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: place of prayer. And just because sincere energy was dissipated,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: we hope that God will sympathize with our passion and
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: somehow anside. You see, God has bound himself to honor
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: his word. The Bible says, he exalts his word even
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: at both his office. If you're learning, say amen. So
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the Bible talks about the will of God as the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: secret that makes prayer powerful. But in truth and in
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: experience we learn that there are many aspects of the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: will of God that are.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: Clear and known from scripture.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: But from a pragmatic standpoint, there are times where you,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: unique to your destiny, you will be at a loss
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: as to the unique expression of God's will. A provision
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: was made in our dealings with God where men can
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: tap into that intelligence. Are we together now that the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: will of God was that was prior to that time
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: not known, it can be known. This is where the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit comes in. Allelujah, so very quickly. Two ways
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: to pray the will of God?
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Are well learning?
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: Number one, Perhaps let me back down a bit and
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: just establish a few things, and then we will understand.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: There are three layers to scripture, and I want you
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to please listen. This Bible, you see, essentially has at
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: least three layers. There could be more, but there are
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: three layers to the Bible. Number one, there is a
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: historic slash archeological layer to scripture. That means this book
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you see is also a piece of archeological and historic material.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Are we right on that? There are people who are
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: not Christians and have had to make reference to the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Bible in writing their thesis and in building up their.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Points for whatever faith practice.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: So this is an archeological material. When you read the Bible,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: you see history captured. When you read the Bible, you
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: see archaeology captured. That is a layer. The second layer
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: to scripture is called a doctrinal layer. Now this one
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you have to be a believer to have the eyes
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: that sees and understand the doctrinal layer to scripture.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: Are we together?
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: This is where the intelligence and the wisdom of God
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: is derived from scripture. When a historian who is not
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: born again reads the Bible, he cannot see the doctrinal
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: sense that is connected in it. The Bible just looks
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: like a gap of events that were put together canonice together.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: But there is the doctrinal layer of scripture. This is
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: where the system of intelligence of the believer is built around,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: is built around doctrine away together Now the third layer
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: is called the prophetic layer of scripture. This one it
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: is enhanced when you have a sound understanding of doctrine.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: But it is the Holy Spirit that opens you up
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to that layer and you can have revelations that are
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: not general to everybody.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: It is given to you as a unique.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Whipon of victory that comes to you as rama that
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you will engage and produce results, and not a person
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: may use it and it may not work for the person.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: You can be praying in scripture, for instance, trusting God,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: where do I establish myself?
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: And in scripture will come to you.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: You have compassed this amountain long enough turned not words,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: that's not a word for everybody.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: It to you.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: It has ministered the answer to what you are looking for,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and you will follow it literally and it will open
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a door for you. But another person may apply that
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: scripture and it will not work for the person. There
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: is a prophetic layer to scripture. Do you understand this now? Yes,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: this is very powerful. It is the reason why the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: study of scripture outside of the ministry of the Holy
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Spirit will lead to a lot of imbalances, because you
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: will find many, many scriptures and not be able to
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: connect them intelligently to produce the will of God. He said, yes,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: such a scripture, for in them you think that you
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: see what Jesus was saying. Those guys were studious, but
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: they did not respect the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: So when Jesus, who was the Word incarnate, when he came,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: they could not even connect him with the things they
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: were studying, the knowledge of scripture. But the Word in
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: candid the Logos of God was standing before them. And yet,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: how do you have such a rich bank of scripture
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and then the Logos is standing and you cannot connect
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to of them?
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Allelujah prays the name of the Lord.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Number one. The two ways that we pray the will
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: of God in the place of prayer is number one.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: By praying scripture based prayer. You just write scripture based
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: prayer scripture based prayer. I made a statement earlier on
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: and it's time to bring it balance that just because
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: you found this scripture does not mean you are in
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the will of God. That is true. But generally speaking,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: when your prayer is what compliant, you must find this
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: scripture according to the written word. Are we together? Now?
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Is scripture? That's so pards This is how the technology
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: of heaven works. Just saying God, do it? You said
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it where he said, presents your cause. He said, bring
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: forth your strong reasons. Are we together now? When bland?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: But you notice bland? But tim you'll never said, Jesus
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: have messy on me. He said, thou son of David.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus understood what he was saying. You have a covenant
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: with David. There was a covenant that God had with David,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm standing to invoke that covenant. The woman in
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Luke chapter twelve, who have suffered the issue of blood?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: He said, is this not not this woman being a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: daughter of Abraham? There is a basis not just that
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: your sofa eighteen years she said, daughter of Abraham? And
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I left Abraham a promise that in thee shall all
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the families of the earth be blessed. And part of
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the component of that blessing is horlesomeness whole. So this
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: woman's state is a demonstration that God is not faithful,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: and when Jesus saw it, being the express image of God,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: he had to change it to represent the will of
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: God correctly. There that was the basis for her healing.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? This is very powerful scripture based prayer.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: It is the reason why believers must be equipped with
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: sufficient understanding of scripture, so that in the place of prayer,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you pray with authority, knowing that the written word of
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: God has a very rich capture, a rich expression of
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: his will.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: So, for instance, you are praying and trusting.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: God for healing, just saying, God, heal me, I know,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: are you not powerful? Don't be watching me like that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: That is sympathetic prayer. But it is not fervant. It
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: is not effectual because there is no scriptural basis for
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: your demand. See see how we pray. An average believer
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: prays this way. And not to be sarcastic, but just
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: quite honestly, Father, thanks you the whole preambles. You are
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the lion of the tribe of Juda, the Rose of Sharon,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: king of King's, Lord of lords. And once we pass that,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: then we go straight to the fact that God. And
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: here again is it that you are not you cannot
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: hear me. You are hearing this one. You are doing
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: this one in the name of Jesus Christ. I'm telling
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: you now you know, and so on and so forth.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: And then just because we say amen at the end
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: of what we're saying. Honestly, it may be sincere prayer,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: but as machuort believers, we must learn that not every
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: kind of prayer. God is almighty, but he has bound
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: himself to the operation of his world. It is the
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: reason why, as powerful as God.
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: Is, he did not cast sin out of man.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: There was a protocol he had to submit to until
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: man was redeemed, because it is written that without the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. And God,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: who created man and created the loss, submitted himself, not
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: given him who cast away sin from man. When you
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: understand this about God, that God did not spare his
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: own son, he also allowed him to submit to what
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the Word said, prophetically, that must be the condition for
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: redemption if he did not spare Jesus. God is touched
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: with the feelings of our infirmity. It's called compassion, but
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: he's moved with his word. By his word. To be
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: touched does not mean he would just act. He is touched,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: and when God wants to help you by being touch
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: he sends you his word. Is someone learning now scripture
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: based prayer, Scripture based prayer, Scripture based prayer, scripture based
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: prayer that every time you are praying making your petitions,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: you take the time, as a responsible believer to find
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: scriptures that supports that.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Which you know God wants to do in your life.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Blindly assuming that God, you said you will prosper me. God,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I know you you are too good to allow me
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: this way. Those things are very sincere, but you will
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: not get resolved that way. Are we together? Number two,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: The second way we pray the will of God is
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: by praying in the spirit, engaging the wisdom of the
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: spirit in praying so as to birth the will of God.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: This is very powerful. The Bible says in Romance chapter eight.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: When you read twenty six and twenty seven Romans eight,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: twenty six and twenty seven. Likewise, it says, the spirit
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: helpeck in our infirmity. What is infirmity there? Contextually, the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: word infirmity there does not mean sickness.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: It means limitations.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: By reason of wearing im mortal body, we are limited
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: in our understanding. We see im part and we professying
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: part because of that limitation. Now, there are three dimensions
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: of God's nature. He did not share with man.
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: I don't have the time to explain this here, but
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: it's important for us to know.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: When the Bible says we are partakers of his divine nature,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: it is not every part of his nature he gave man.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I hope you know that there are certain dimensions of
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: God's nature that are exclusive to him. Three of them.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Number one his omnipresence. He did not share that with man.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Number two his omnipotence, the ability to be all powerful,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: and then number three his ability to be omniscient. All
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: knowing these three dimensions of God he did not share
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: with man. They brand him in a class all by himself.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? So? Man is not all powerful?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Our power is derived. That's why we have authority. Authority
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: is the lefs legitimacy to use power. God does not
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: have authority because authority demands that you must be regulated.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Every time you give a man authority, there must be
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: a system above that man that supervises the management of
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: that power and authority. Are we together now? Yes? I know.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: The Bible says all authority has been given. Notice Jesus
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: is speaking as a man. All authority. Authority is giving.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: It is not derived. It is given given by one
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: higher than you. God was willing to submit if he
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: found someone greater than him, but he did not find
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: any and so that's what makes him all powerful.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: You get it.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Now, Yes, demons have power, but they do not have authority.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Authority is the legitimacy to use power. Robert has a gone,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: a military man has a gone. They both have power,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: but one has authority. That's why he will not be
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: jailed for shooting. The other guy does not have authority.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Are you getting the point? Now? Believe us. We're not
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: just given power. If the only thing God gave us
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: is power, we're in trouble. It means we all pray
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: just like demon's spirit. What gives us an edges that
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: we have authority is the reason why he honors us
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: when we make declarations in the spirit, because we have
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: power and authority. How did I get here? Praise God?
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: This is important praying in the spirit. So the Bible says,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: we're looking at Romance Chapter eight, from verse twenty six.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: The spirit help out our limitations. What is the limitation?
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: We know not what we should pray for us we
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: ought this is the limitation.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: This is what the Holy Spirit helps.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: That there is a deficiency in all men by reason
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: of wearing a mortal body, and by reason of the
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: fallen nature, that we do not have accurate perception of
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: what the will of God is in all matters. This
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: is why God gave us a holy Spirit to become
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: that advantage to that limitation. Then the Bible says, whoever
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: is aware of such a limitation will now recognize that
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: the Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: be uttered. The next verse, place twenty seven, the Bible says,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: he he been the spirit that's such aid. The heart
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: knows what is the mind of the spirit, because he
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: maketh intercession for the saints. How according to the will
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: of God. So the recommended approach to pray over a
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: matter where the will of God is not clear is
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to pray in the spirit. And that the Bible says,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: there is a transaction that happens when you pray in
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the spirit. Eventually, the Spirit of God, who is also
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: the revealer of the Heart of God, are we together.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Now He will meet you at the point of your
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: passion where the will of God is revealed. Then, on
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: the basis of scripture, we can pray and make petitions
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: with authority, knowing that this is the confidence we have
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: that when we ask anything. When I'm praying for the sick,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I don't verify whether is the will of God. It's
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: been established from scripture by his tribes. We are healed.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: He is called Rapha. Are we together? Now? I am
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: come that ye may have life and to have it
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: more abundantly.
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: That is sufficient basis for my confidence.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: So when I minister to the sick, I minister with confidence,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: not in my own sufficiency, but that the words of
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: God his promises are yay and amen. This is what
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: gives us confidence to pray and to minister by the spirit.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: But then there are matters in life and destiny. Where
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: should I be, where should the church be planted away together?
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: And all those kinds of things. It is not directly
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: written in the Bible for you, even though when the
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit gives you his word, you will find a
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: scripture that relates to it. So what you do is
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: to engage in the spirit and continually engage in the spirit.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: You are doing two things in one. One is you
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: are already communic with God according to the will of God.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: But number two, because you are the one who needs
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: to act out his will, the Holy Spirit will search
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the mind of the Father and transport to you the
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: will of the Father for your destiny. You don't stop
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: praying until the knowledge of the will arrives. That was
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: the goal of the prayer. At what point do you
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: stop praying in the spirit when the will of God
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: concerning your life is revealed. You don't stop praying when
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: you are tired. You don't stop praying after one hour
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: or after five hour. What governs the prayer is not
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: chronological time. What governs the time is travailing until the
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: knowledge of the will arrives. If it takes twenty one days,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: you keep going. If it takes two hours, you keep going.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: You see that now mechanically is selecting time for your prayer.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: It may help you in terms of giving you spiritual discipline.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: But there are times, for many reasons that I may
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: not discuss here, you will need to traveil. When a
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: woman goes to the hospital to give blads, she doesn't
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: give the doctors two hours. She goes there knowing that
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: her goal is until the child arrives. Sometimes she gets
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: there and in touching minutes the child is out. But
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: there are times she's here one week. She stays patiently
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: with the confidence that my goal is to beat this child.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: How about the time she's carrying twins. How about the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: time she's carrying triplets. Other women may come and go
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: and live her there because of the kind of thing
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: she's breathing. The pavant and effectual prayer of the righteous
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: are vailed much. Most believers are sincere and passionate, but
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: they do not respect the will of God as a
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: vital component in prayer. Most people will not understand the
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: advantage God gave us in giving us the Holy Spirit
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: and giving us the prayer language. It's been an age
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: long argument as to whether praying in the spirit in
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: terms as we know is necessary for believers. It is
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: because we do not understand the way the Kingdom works,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: that as compassionate as God is, he only acts with
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: respect to His will. Are we together, so when we
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: pray in the spirit, it is an edge He has
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: given us. An apostle Paul was teaching the church in Ephesos,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: and he says, you are wise when you pray in
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: the spirit, because in praying the spirit, you will eventually
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: gain the advantage of knowing the will of the Lord,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: and with it you will execute with precision, and you
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: will save time. Not to go around ten years doing
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: several things you think at the will of God, only
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: to find out at the eleventh year that you were
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: not in the will of God and you have to
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: come back. You have wasted time, he says, you redeem
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: time when you know the will of God. Let it
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: not be that I'm roaming around legods for fifteen years.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Then finally when I get seerious with God, I find
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: out that it was designed for me to have been
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: in the US.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: And now you have to trust God.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: You see, this is why God created systems of advantage
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: like restoration and speed, because He knows that most men
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: will not believe. Here are we together now? If it
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: is God's in God's intent for you to probably have
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: started the work of.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: The ministry, and you've been arguing with.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: The spirit for the last fifteen years, Imagine how many
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: souls have been tied to you. They have suffered because
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: of your carelessness. That is why when God reveals his
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: will to you, in addition to it, he opens you
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: up to his systems of advantage like restoration and speed.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: These are his various ways of bringing you up to
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: speed with life and destiny. But my assignment is to
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: charge you will use the remaining ten minutes to pray.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Now you pray with understanding, Allelujah in the name of Jesus.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: You are making declarations of protection, and you are saying, well,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: all I.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: Know, God forbid, I know nobody would touch me.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: You are joking. No, No, The Lord is my light
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: and my salvation. Of whom shall I be afraid of?
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: The Lord is the strength of my life? Are we
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: together that when men say there is a casting down
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: for me, I decree and declare that there is a
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: lifting up. I like what the Bible calls them. He
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: calls them exceeding, great and precious promises. It says that
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: by them we might be the partakers of His divine
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: nature inexperience. Haven't escaped the corruption that is in the
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: world to lost? Show me a believer that it's full
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: of the world and knows how to engage it with understanding.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I show you a man who has mastered the art
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: of effectual prayer, prayer that produces power. Are weay together?
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: So how do you proy? Over twenty twenty four In
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. The Bible declares this is the
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: day that includes the year.
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: That the Lord has made.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Who made it? It is said the Lord and Satan
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: the Lord has made. Satan also waits for the day
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: to be made, to be part of it. If God
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: makes the day. I go to Genesis one. What happens
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: when God is the one who makes, He makes all
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: things beautiful, and when he makes it so that it
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: was good. On the basis of that, my day must be.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: On the basis of that, my year must be good.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Everything that is inconsistent with the design of God for
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: my life in this season. Now you can take authority
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: over with confidence because you are praying pavant. You are
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: praying effectual prayer. Allelujah. Your children are misbehaving, you don't
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: just call them and say, God, what I've served you?
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: That looks sincere, But it's not a very wise prayer.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Someone twelve said, blessed is the man that feared the Lord,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: who delighted greatly in his commands. He said, his seed
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: shall be mighty, The generation of the right shall be blessed.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: He says, wealth and riches shall be in his house,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and his righteousness and yours forever. That becomes the basis
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: of your prayer. Allelujah. When the centurion came to Jesus,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: he said, you do not need to come to my house.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Speak the word only. He said, I am a man
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: on the authority. I know the power of authority. There
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: is a government, the government of They backed me, and
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: by reason of the authority, I said to one go
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: not because of the sound of my voice, not because
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: of my stature. I am under authority. I say you too.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: I know you did not come on your own. You
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: came representing the government of Heaven. Speak the world only.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: And Jesus said, who taught you? Have not found this faith?
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Not in Israel? Who men taught this man to have
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: this understanding? Is someone listening now the name of Jesus.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: You rebuke sicknesses and diseases. You don't just say sickness
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: go to where? Why? Why does it go? Is it
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: not in your Bible that a few people said, we
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: enjoy you by Jesus whom Paul preaches. What did the
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: demon said Jesus? I know, Paul, I know what is
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the basis of obeying you? And there bigs the children.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: This is not the old TESTAMENTO produce your strong reason?
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Why should God lift you? Because I know he loves
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: me too much. Where did you find that? Don't assume
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: even Satan said it is written. I hope you know
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: what is written concerning you. The Bible says, when Jesus
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: came to the temple in Look chapter four, he found
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: he opened the book of Exias, and he found where
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: it was written concerning him. Have you found where it
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: was written concerning your job? Have you found where it
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: was written concerning your children? Can I tell you? In
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: this kingdom it is written, is greater than I saw?
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: It is written, is greater than I heard. You can
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: use it. It's written to change what you saw. You
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: can use it. It's written to change what you heard.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: I had a dream that you would die. I respect
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: your dream, but it is written. I shall not die,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: but leave and declare the works of the Lord. That
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: becomes the basis of my engaging. Are we together? I
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: say that this year may not be very good for you.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Generally as a prophetic word, that is fine. But uniquely
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: I define my realities.
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: It is true.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: It's that's true. Faith.
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: We understand. Do you believe this?
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: We're about to pray last summer Raco Theater. The Bible says,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: the path of the Just, not in twenty twenty three,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: not in twenty twenty four. The path of the just
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: is as a shining light. It shines more and more.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: More and more is my heritage. I don't know about you,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: but it is my heritage. This is not just blind confession. Honestly,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: you ignoreice, you will be surprised that you'll be a victim.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: I hope you know that before Jesus died, he declared
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: that you will come back to life. If he kept quiet,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: the grave will not open. Let the redeemed of the
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Lord not think so. Not we so not assume so.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: If the redeemed of the Lord says so, then the
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: healed of the Lord will say so, the blessed of
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: the Lord will say so. The lifted of the Lord
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: will say so. You have been thinking so wonderful, but
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: it's time to say so. Say what what God has said.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: It is a word confession, homologial to repeat as you
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: have heard, consistent with what he has said.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: Allelujah.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: When men say there is a casting down with the
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Krean declared that there is a lifting up, is that true?
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Gentiles come to my light, their kings, to the brightness
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: of My rising in the name of Jesus. Where I've
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: been deserted so that no man would pass through me,
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I've become an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: The wisdom of God is at work in my spirit,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ, going from glory to glory.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: This is not pentecostal kibberish. Is how we create realities
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: in the spirit. So let me tell you this. Listen
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: before we pray. Papa Copeland is in his eighties now,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: is one of the fathers today that represents the feelers.
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: Of what we know to be the Word of faith.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: And one time I heard him making a statement. When
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: he was younger, he believed the Word in the simplicity
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: of faith, and he would declare over his body and
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: speak and do a lot of things, and there were
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: people who laughed at him. Most of those people have
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: long gone. In his eighties, he's still standing today, moving unaided.
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: And there were many arrogant.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: People who are How did the Bible put it? I
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: cannot remember the scripture, he says, but I hear Paul
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: was speaking. He said, less as Satan beguiled Eve. I
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: think he was speaking to the church in Corinth. Also
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: through sotilty, a deception inventing a strategy that deviates you
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: from the simplicity of the Gospel. It takes childlike approach
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: to the things of the spirit. There are times that
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: they look deceptfully childish, and yet the power of God
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: is hidden in those practices. For instance, there is here
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: that's scatteract and yet increase it. It does not make
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: economic sense. Yet that is the wisdom of God that
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: is hidden. The Bible said it was ordained for our glory.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: I told you yesterday that the end of the believer's
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: journey is that your life eventually becomes a manifestation of
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: the glory of God. And one of these platforms and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: these weapons that I share with you, in addition to
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: all you have heard this morning, is the power of fervent,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: effectual prayer, not just emotional prayer. Are we together now,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: not just trad though African prayers, sincerely saying, without any
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: sense of mockri and all of that. Most of us
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: need to redefine our understanding about prayer. Probably will been
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: mentored by sincere people, but we view the prayer ministry
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: from the lens of a defeated believer. If your prayer
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: is not effectual. It cannot produce power the amount of
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: time and energy that is invested in prayer in Africa.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: With all due respect and honor to all of us
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: believers who pray, if there was vency and efficiency in
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: our prayer, we would have shifted the climates of the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: continent by now. So in addition to our zeal, one
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: of the things that the Lord is reintroducing to the
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: prayer ministry of the believer is the word compliancy. Respect
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: for the ministry of the Holy Spirit as we pray,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: respect for the supremacy of the world, as we pray.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: That emotional prayer does not change climates. It is the
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: degree of the word compliancy or not to the Spirit
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: of God.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: I sense in my heart.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: That there are people in this place and together as
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: the Body of Christ. We have come into a state
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: of maturity by the spirit, thanks to apostolic conferences like this,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: where God helps us to sharpen one another by the spirit,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: to gain accendance and come to a point of maturity
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: and to be circumspecting our understanding. Where we begin to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: pray from Legos to Abuja, to South Africa to Kenya,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: to Uganda to Malawi. Prayer with understanding, and you see
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: that fire of revival and phavancy rising and spreading. Are
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: we together, one man who knew how to pray, kept
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: the will of God to work in a landrygardless how many.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 5: Prophets of goal.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Prayer is powerful, but it must be fervent, it must
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: be efficient. If we take two minutes to pray, would
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: that be fine? My apologies were stretching. I thought we'll
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: have some more time to pray. But please rise upon
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: your feet, alamacusiata take to the second to pray in
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: the spirit. Now you understand what you are doing. You're
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: not just reciting gibberish. Mechanical gibberish is a transaction in
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: the spirit. The pavant, effectual prayer of the righteous a
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: failed much what thingsoever ye desire when ye pray, believe
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: that thou receives them when ye pray, when you pray pavantly,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: when you pray effectually or effectively. And this is the
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: confidence that we have that when we ask anything according
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: to His will, we know that you here a us
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: someone pray in one.
